APC Chairman Jarret Tenebe Issues Violent Vote Threats
Jarret Tenebe, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), issued a threatening statement during a campaign rally in Edo State, asserting he would invoke the "power of AK-47" against anyone who obstructs the party's aim to secure 2.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. This remark was made as Governor Monday Okpebholo campaigned across all 18 local government areas of Edo State to rally support for Tinubu.
Tenebe's comments, which included a viral video, suggested that the number of votes a state delivers could impact federal development decisions, such as the creation of new local government areas. He ranked his threats, with "Holy Ghost fire" being the most severe and "AK-47 fire" as a direct warning to dissenters.
He dismissed critics questioning the feasibility of achieving 2.5 million votes, citing past local government elections where he claimed 2,156,800 votes were mobilized for the party.
